Verses 3 and 4 are today’s power verses from Proverbs 2: Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation.
What is favor and why should we want it? The free dictionary defines it as “A gracious, friendly, or obliging act that is freely given.” It can also mean “a privilege or concession”. Freely given here is the key.
It is God’s favor that opens up doors for us. His goodness causes even strangers to show us partiality. So what is the secret to continually flow in favor? It’s found in verse 3: loyalty and kindness. Notice that it tells you to tie it around your neck if you have to! Writing them deep within your heart means you have to make a conscience effort to make this part of your life.
In the book the February 2nd page tapped into meditation. Meditation is a key to success in anything. One definition of meditation is saying to yourself over and over again (mutter to oneself). You can turn this into a praise power point: Thank you Father that I have favor with you, and you have given me favor with man, and it goes before me everywhere that I go in Jesus name.
Tap into the favor factor today. God has done His part; now we need to do ours.

Today’s power verse could be found in verse 10 of Proverbs 13: Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised [is] wisdom.
One emerging trend in Proverbs as you can tell is the danger of pride. Pride is one of the biggest reasons why the destiny of millions isn’t fulfilled.
Pride gets in the way every time. Pride is rooted in fear. The fear that you won’t have enough in that area. Fear works like faith. Fear is contaminated faith. What you have faith in, even if it’s contaminated, you will receive. It’s a spiritual law that works even if you don’t consciously put it into practice.
It’s like the law of gravity. You don’t think when you are getting out of bed: now, be careful and think about gravity so that the law of lift doesn’t shot me through the roof. No, you just get out of bed and go do your thing! You are having faith that gravity is working correctly and you aren’t going to be propelled through the roof somehow.
It is your experience with gravity that has given you unwavering faith. And if you continue to seek God’s Kingdom – God’s ways of doing and being right – then you will be well advised. Then you will have the wisdom you need for any given situation. And the application of what you are learning and the success that emerges from it will build the confidence you need to continue on your path. Just like gravity, after awhile, you won’t give it a second thought. You will expect the wisdom of God to work every time you step out.

Today’s power verse can be found in verse one from Proverbs 12: Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof [is] brutish.
This is probably one of the hardest pills to swallow. No one really likes to be corrected. If you read Proverbs on a daily basis by the end of the year you would have read this verse 12 times. You'll not going to jump out of bed next January and say: Today is going to be a good day! Someone is going to correct me! Yipee!
I believe that this is one of the reasons that people aren’t succeeding in what they are setting out to do. They don’t want to be corrected by their doctor when they are told to eat right and exercise and then wonder why they feel so bad. They don’t want to be corrected by their supervisor at work then wonder why they haven’t gotten a decent raise. They don’t want to be corrected by their pastor and then wonder why they feel so dry.
But when you hate to receive correction your heart begins to get harden, and with that, everything else. Before you know it, your emotions will follow and you begin to do brutish (stupid) things. You do stupid things because you’ve allowed yourself not to receive the correction that could have saved you all the headaches.
Correction is a necessary part of life. It is the equivalent of pruning in the garden that of your life. You can’t just let those weeds get out of control. The best time to get them is when before they start popping up. Learn to love correction when it comes. You won’t like it then, but you will appreciate it later.

Today’s power verse can be found in verse two of Proverbs 11: [When] pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly [is] wisdom.
Let’s define a prideful person. A prideful person is someone who believes their worth is more than those around them. This person also expects others to treat him/her with that presumption of how much s/he is presumably worth. And when they aren’t treated as highly as they presume they should be, they generally act in ways that are rather, let’s say, ugly. And as the old saying goes, God doesn’t like ugly! Acts of pride are those that are contradictory to what God is the right way.
Let’s define what a humble (lowly) person is. In Numbers 12:3 we are told that Moses was the meekest man on earth. Do you know who wrote that? Moses! One could read that and think: ”Now that IS NOT humble!” But we are the ones with the wrong definition of humble.
A person of meekness isn’t one that keeps their head low with soft speech and full of shyness. A truly humble person is one who simply agrees with God. S/He is someone who acknowledges that God is the Most High God and that there is no other. And if there is no other, then there is no higher authority, is there?
The fall comes when we take the place of God in our lives. Be wise and stay in meekness by coming into agreement with God. If He says you can, then who are you to argue with Him?

Today’s power verse comes from Proverbs 10:12: Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
In this verse we have a contradictory of terms: hate and love. Haven’t you noticed that when someone has a hatred for God, they incite trouble? It’s the same when someone has hatred for a person. Contention rises up and steals joy, kills relationships, and destroys communities.
On the contrary, there is love. Love isn’t the opposite of hate. The opposite of love is selfishness and we know that it is by what 2nd Corinthians chapter 13 tells us what love looks like.
Love, instead of inciting arguments and divisions, excuses offenses or mistakes. This is important to acknowledge here because part of love is forgiveness. At first love forgives the mistakes that are made. Mistakes are things done to you with no intent of harm. Offenses can be either done on purpose or without intent of harm. Either way, forgiveness needs to be implemented.
It is the reason that we can come to God boldly to the throne of grace. No longer do we need to run and hide from Him. No longer do we need to do rituals of sacrifice in order to cover what we have done. It was His great love for you that caused Him to create a plan to bring you back to rightful place in the universe: and that is place of being His child. The sacrifice has been made. You don’t need to add anything to it. The only act on your behalf is receiving it.
Forgiveness is available today for you. God forgives you. Reach out and take it. ### This has been an authorized reprint From Wisdom from Proverbs: Volume 1 by Raquel Soto. Get your copy today of this amazing resource which includes 31 mp3's and e-book by clicking on bible studies now

Today’s power verse can be found in verse six from Proverbs 9: Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
When God told Abraham to leave all he knew in Genesis 12 and go to a place that He would show him, I’m sure many thought that Abraham was the foolish one! But sometimes we need to look like the fool, even when we aren’t, so that we to may live! And sometimes that means moving away from all we know.
The Hebrew word for life (chayah) is a verb meaning to have continued life and live prosperously. It means to be made alive, be quickened, restored to life or health. This is the kind of life God wants you to have. But in order to have this kind of life, you need to do your part and forsake foolish things.
When God gives you instructions, it will seem foolish to you at times because it will be in contradiction of what you have been taught to do. In God’s economy, you give to get. You don’t toil, because all has been provided already through the sacrifice of Jesus. When someone cuts you off in traffic, you love them anyway.
What was Abraham’s reward for going the way of understanding? He ended up not only having one son, but that through that lineage the Messiah would be born! There’s always a reward from God that is much more than we can ask or think. It’s worth going the way of understanding and leaving behind those things that, in the end, will only hinder what you were created to do.

Today we are reflecting on:
Today’s power verse is a double from Proverbs 8, verses 10 and 11: Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom [is] better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
Receive here is not a passive thing that you are doing. You just aren’t holding out your hands like it’s not a big deal. Receive here in the Hebrew means to take hold of, seize, snatch, even to take away! These aren’t words of passivity, but those of fierce action!
The secret to success is found in these verses. If you want to change your life, if you need a turn around in your circumstances, all you need to know is what God has already said. The answers to everything you need are laid out for you, in plain English, in black and white.
We are to snatch the instructions of God and not silver. We are to lay hold of knowledge over gold. We aren’t to chase money or other means of wealth. They are to be a by-product of the instructions you are following as you search out the Kingdom of God (His way of doing and being right).
If you would receive, take hold of, seize, snatch, and acquire God’s instructions and do it, you will have all the health, wealth, and happiness that your heart desires. And what God gives, He gives without sorrow added to it.
